EDITOR'S PREFACE 

I CANNOT permit this Index Volume to be given to 
the public without an expression of my gratitude to Mr. 
Theodore Clarke Smith, who has made it. He has per- 
formed with admirable patience the great labor in the 
way of detail easily visible to every person of any liter- 
ary experience ; and he planned the entire arrangement. 
This volume, the fruit of his toil, has given to the Series 
a unity, and thereby a value for all students, which I 
knew existed in it, but which I, at least, had not thought 
of developing in this practical manner. Before Mr. 
Smith made this Index, the several volumes stood like a 
row of railway cars, in juxtaposition on the rails, but 
not firmly linked into the entirety of a train. There- 
upon he came, and skilfully did precisely that which 
needed to be done. If he did not invent, he at least 
applied the most approved coupling apparatus and vesti- 
bule appointments, and thereby he created out of the 
parts a great unit, an integral train, so that whoever 
gets aboard it has perfect communication throughout its 
entire length, and can at once and easily pass to any 
section and find any passenger within it.

PKEFACE 

This volxime is intended to make the American States- 
men Series serve the purpose of a reference work on 
American history from 1750 to 1874. To this end it con- 
tains the following parts : First, there is a general index 
of names in which are grouped all references to persons 
of any prominence in the volumes of the series. 

Second, there is a general index of all topics re- 
ferred to in the series. The purpose was not to give 
a complete alphabetical list of all events, places and 
institutions mentioned, but rather to group them under 
natural and obvious headings, supplemented by numer- 
ous cross references. In this way space has been saved 
and repetition avoided. 

Third, there is a bibliography comprising lists of 
bibliographical and other reference works, general his- 
tories and dictionaries, and lists of biographical and top- 
ical references arranged to correspond with the indexes 
of names and of topics. In making this bibliography 
the compiler has relied principally upon Winsor's " Nar- 
rative and Critical History of America," and Channing 
and Hart's " Guide to American History," adding to the 
lists thus obtained certain books which have appeared 
since the publication of these works. The bibliography 
is restricted in scope to the period covered by, and the 
persons and subjects treated in, the Statesmen series. 
In general it comprises selected lists of secondary works, 
with references to a few such sources as are fairly 



vi PREFACE 

obvious in character, like United States documents and 
newspapers. 

These three parts will facilitate the use of the series 
as a reference work. From the two indexes the reader 
may find what there is upon any given person or sub- 
ject, and may thus without difficulty secure as many 
points of view and as much varied information as the 
several authors furnish. If desirous of carrying the 
matter further, he will find in the bibliography fists of 
the best general works and of such special works as have 
been published bearing on the man or event in question. 
If he wishes to go stiU further, he is given lists of bib- 
liographies wherein he may find the latest word on the 
literature of the subject. In this way a series of bio- 
grapliies, each complete in itself, may easily become a 
useful work for historical reference.

BIBLIOGRAPHY 



The following bibliography is intended to aid the reader 
to investigate in greater detail men and events treated in 
the Statesmen Series. It is not a full bibliography of Ameri- 
can history, even for the period covered, but contains merely 
a selected list of the most useful books. For purposes of con- 
venient reference it is divided into three parts, of which the 
first comprises books treating specifically of United States 
history as a whole. The second section on biographical 
references and the third section on topical references are 
arranged to correspond with the index of names and the 
topical index respectively. Throughout, only the period 
J.750-1874 is considered. 

GENERAL WORKS

The first group of general works to be considered includes 
the bibliographies, to which the reader is directed who desires 
to refer to the sources and literature of American history, 
systematically arranged.

GENERAL HISTORIES 

A general history may profitably be referred to in connec- 
tion with the Statesmen Series, in order, through a continuous 
narrative of the period 1750-1874, to unify the varied infor- 
mation and points of view conveyed by the separate bio- 
graphies. It will also be found useful to consult a purely 
historical work in order to gain a professedly impartial stand- 
point, and to rearrange men and events in their proper per- 
spective. Finally, it will often be desirable to fill gaps which 
the biographical form of the series may cause to be left in 
the sequence of events or the treatment of matters not espe- 
cially connected with the subject of any one of the bio- 
graphies.

chronologically according to the period treated : —
